TIMELESS WISDOM: Dr. Gladys McGarey’s Final Message on Healing, Love, & the Well-Lived Life


Listen Later

Dr. Gladys McGarey, lovingly hailed as the "Mother of Holistic Medicine," devoted over six transformative decades to reshaping our understanding of health and healing. Born on November 30, 1920, in India, Dr. McGarey grew up steeped in the traditions of care and compassion, inspired by her medical missionary parents. At just 16, she boldly moved to the United States to pursue her dream of medicine, overcoming formidable barriers as a pioneering female medical resident in the 1940s.

In 1964, Dr. McGarey co-founded the Olive Tree Medical Group, later known as the ARE Clinic, the first of its kind to integrate the teachings of Edgar Cayce into holistic healthcare. Her groundbreaking vision culminated in the founding of the American Holistic Medical Association in 1978, forever changing the landscape of integrative medicine in the United States.
Through her powerful works, including Born to Live and The Well-Lived Life, Dr. McGarey distilled her philosophy into her "Five Ls": Life, Love, Laughter, Labor, and Listening. She believed deeply that "all healing comes from inside ourselves" and that "love is the essence of healing," a testament to her profound understanding of the human spirit.
Her remarkable life included meeting Gandhi as a child, pioneering safer birthing practices in Afghanistan, and, even at 103, continuing to inspire through her writing and speaking. Sadly, just weeks after recording a podcast conversation together, this extraordinary light transitioned from our world.
Today, I share that recording—a rare and poignant glimpse into her wisdom and boundless spirit. Dr. McGarey’s legacy of love and healing will continue to illuminate hearts and minds for generations to come. Rest in peace, Dr. Gladys. ✨
